Convincing mom to pose with me for audition
*
This had to be divine providence for my dreams. I had followed this writer through her many forays into incest story writing. Her words penetrated to my soul and I was compelled to respond to her request for amateurs to pose for photographs to be included in her short story collection and, maybe, for a movie documenting her stories. I was helpless to resist, but I had to enlist my mother's participation. Let me begin at the first reading and how I had come from that point to wanting to make love to my mother.
My mom, Talia, and my dad, Bernard, have been married for quite a long time. They got married right out of college and have produced three kids to include me and my two sisters. My sisters are 25 and 23 with me just turning 21. Mom had a lot of trouble regaining her figure after I was born, but has achieved an incredible body considering her age and child bearing. I bring this up to show that her attention to her own body has in some way alienated my dad and his attention. I don't get it. Mom has this "to die for" figure and dad ignores her.
Five months ago I found out why dad ignores mom's need for sexual contact. My oldest sister, Janie, is fucking dad. I'm not absolutely sure, but the signs are all there if you look for them. The two of them lean their heads together at times and brush each other's fingertips when they are sure no one is looking. She has a nice figure, but not near as great as mom's. The two of them make excuses to go anywhere together. I have tried to find ways to tag along, but have not been able to convince them to take me. What other conclusion can I reach?
Mom doesn't seem to see it and I hesitate to say anything to her. This is where I began to implement my plan. I was going to have my mom and that was it. We were alone in the kitchen after dinner when I asked my first leading question.
"Mom, there is a website looking for photographs of mothers and sons posing together in formal wear. I figured I want to enter you and me in the contest to see if we can win a prize. Will you pose with me for a picture I can send into the contest?"
Mom responded, "like the family picture we had taken at your Aunt Catherine's wedding? I think you could probably just use one of those, couldn't you?"
Bingo, she didn't say no to having our picture submitted. "I was thinking something more recent than five years ago and just the two of us."
"What sort of website wants pictures of you and your old mom? What will they do with the pictures and what sort of prize do we get?" Mom turned away from the sink to look me straight in the eye. "What sort of website are you talking about, Jeff?" Here is where things got a bit sticky. Dad and Jamie had gone out to the store and my other sister, Gwen, was in her room doing who knows what. I had to explain.
"Mom, there is a soft casting call for amateurs to have their photographs used in a collection of short stories by an author I just adore. Her stories have reached into the recesses of my being and I want to be a part of them. The casting call has requested photos of women in their forties or fifties posed with younger men in their twenties who look as though they may be mother and son, but not related. I would not tell them you are my mom, but you are the prettiest woman I know who could pull this off."
"What are you thinking?"
"Mom, don't jump to conclusions here. I am pretty sure that there will be a lot of guys looking to have their pictures taken with women they think would look like their moms, but just won't look near as good as you. Please think about having our picture taken together. You would have to wear a formal dress to portray the part of one of the main characters in the story and I would be in my best suit and tie, posing as your son."
"Let me say again, Jeff, what are you thinking? What short story are you talking about and what website are you referring to?"
"The website is named after the story entitled "Moms & Lovers" and is asking for photos to be submitted for consideration for inclusion in the printed version of the story. The winners will be selected by the publishing committee. They are offering an all expense paid vacation to Las Vegas and two thousand dollars for the couples who win. They need two couples who look like they are mom and son. Mom, they are emphatic in stating that the couples look like they could be mother and son, but not be related. I think they are worried about breaking some laws."
Did I mention that my mom is a lawyer and a good one? "I would think so. I'll talk to your dad about it, but I am not promising anything."
"Mom, you can't say anything to dad. He will just get the wrong idea."
"Jeff, that is reason enough to involve your dad. He is my husband and we make decisions together." Mom knew she and dad didn't make decisions together anymore. She was just stalling to give herself time to think.
"Okay mom, you should think this over. If we win and get to pose for the printed story, it may be a path to more opportunities with the author. Just think about it and we can talk this weekend. I am going out for a while and will be back about ten." I started to go upstairs to get ready to go out.
Mom walked over to me, hugged me and kissed me on the cheek saying, "thanks for thinking of me as pretty and for including me in your fantasy of becoming a model. Let's just let this stew for a while and, like you say, talk about this over the weekend.
I had planted the seed and I think it went quite well. I would find out later that my suggestion had come at exactly the right time in the turmoil of my mom's life. I didn't know that mom had her suspicions about Janie and dad. Mom was letting it play out for the time being. She had a plan and I seemed to be playing an innocent part of her plan.
Dad and Janie got home about nine with a bag of new clothes for Janie. Mom stated, "I thought you two were going to buy groceries for tomorrow night's family dinner."
Dad responded, "no, Janie had to pick up some stuff and I tagged along. What do you need from the grocery store? Janie and I can go out right now if you wish."
"No," said mom, angry with dad, "I'll ask Jeff to go with me and drive. We are going to have a mom to son talk while we are out. Don't expect us right away."
Mom called to me, "Jeff, instead of going out, can you drive me to the grocery store?"
"Sure, be right there," I responded bounding down the stairs from my room.
"Your dad and sister didn't get what I needed from the food store and I need a strong man to carry my groceries, want to help?"
"I'm your man," thinking I couldn't have said it better. I looked at dad and all I could think is dad blew this one.
My mother was 'spitting bullets', she was so angry at dad and Janie. As I drove us to the store, mom started, "those two fucking ass holes were probably fucking right here in the back seat while I cleaned up from dinner. They should be thrown in jail and toss out the key. What do they think they're doing? I should call the cops and have them both arrested. Do you know anything about this?"
Sheepishly I said, "yes and no. I have my suspicions, but no proof. Janie has been weird for the past few months and dad has been really attentive to her. For crying out loud, mom, I don't know why dad would prefer Janie to the fabulous woman I am driving around right now." That got her attention.
